Purchase of a Dog Boarding Kennel
 
Our client purchased a Dog Boarding Kennel in June 2020 for £725,000. A full claim was not possible as the building was bought as an existing business property. This was because the sale had completed and 2 years had now passed, meaning it was to late to make a full claim. However, a restricted claim was possible, resulting in £57,591 of  . . .

R&D Tax Credits
 
 
Update and review from Adam Spriggs following the House of Lords subcommittee meeting on 14 November:
 
 
 
Lords Subcommittee and Budget
 
On Monday 14 November, a House of Lords subcommittee sat to discuss R&D Tax Relief and heard evidence from some sectors utilising it as well as advisors. Following recent reports of large-scale fraud and abuse of the scheme as well as its cost to the treasury, there has never been more of a spotlight on the R&D Tax schemes.

Whilst HMRC increased their R&D workforce by 100+ around 2 years go to allow them to review more claims, and with new measures coming into force from April 2023 around report content and early notification, if companies haven’t previously claimed, these measures alone do not do enough to address the abuse and concerns on the regime. Only a finite amount of the near 90k annual claims is able to be reviewed and there is still finite experienced resource at HMRC, which has led to an increase  . . . Read more

Zeal’s capital allowances team attended the Holiday Park & Innovation Show in the NEC, Birmingham at the start of November presenting and exhibiting to park owners.

The benefit of capital allowances for Caravan Parks (including residential home parks) is often overlooked or underclaimed. Working with industry organisations including the British Holiday & Home Park Association (BH&HPA), Zeal have helped Park owners all over the UK unlock significant capital allowances tax savings on the purchase, construction, extension or . . .

Tax Advisory

Zeal’s tax advisory team also work closely with clients like caravan park owners to ensure they have the most tax efficient structure for their business. Many parks are operated as un-incorporated businesses, which usually means they are paying too much tax! Zeal often help businesses restructure into a corporate entity as it results in lower annual tax charges and also provides the flexibility to plan for the future. A popular option for park owners is to structure the new company with different classes of shares, enabling them to pass on ownership to their family over time, whilst remaining in full control of the company in the short-term.

One of the park owners we helped last month to claim capital allowances on the purchase of their park in 2007, are now going through the process of incorporating their business. Not only will this  . . . Read more
